Testimonials

My experience with O&S has been top notch. They manage social media for my startup as well as a charitable group that I oversee. Our online presence would not exist without them. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier.

Alex Putici

I thought I was good at social media until I met Dario - he is truly an octopus that can do so many things at once and drive online engagement! I am impressed by his talent and outgoing personality. He is my go-to for any of my contracts that need social media and I enjoy working in partnership with him. We are stronger as a team.

Octopus & Son is the best of the best! Their knowledge in all aspects of social media is never-ending. They work with you to first understand your business goals, target audiences, and create a bullet-proof plan for your social media strategy. Not only do they know the ins and outs of each social media platform, they also have an eye for design and content creation. I have no hesitation in sending my clients to Octopus & Son.

Rebecca Frederick

Octopus & Son are a wonderfully passionate and tremendously creative company who are tireless in their efforts to help businesses, worthy causes, and charitable events become as successful as they can be through innovative and effective social media strategies. Their work for AMJ Campbell and The GREEN Network was invaluable.

Mark Stables

Octopus & Son are a force to be reckoned with. These folks have an incredible work ethic to go along with their very reliable and sometimes spooky internal compass for social media best practices and trends. Simply having a conversation with them will stir your creativity and bring value to any project you are working on. I can always count on them to help me cut through the noise and pinpoint viable solutions. They are a pleasure to work with and I always look forward to collaborative opportunities that involve them.
